Payton Wilson Appreciation Thread

He pretty much saved the Falcons 1st drive from being a touchdown. If he doesn't make come off his block and make that tackle good chance Robinson scores, saved 4 points for sure.

Like his motor if he keeps adequately healthy dude will be a force.

 

There was another defender right there. I think it was Elliott, who is a strong tackler. Maybe Robinson would have beaten him one-on-one, but Wilson was not the last defender between Robinson and the end zone on that play.

 

maybe.

love the kid but Queen did what we needed him to do. be steady. don't need him to make splash plays, just be solid. he blew up a number of plays.

but LOVE Wilson and all of our LB's!!!

 

Agreed. Queen was a little quieter than I'd like, but I don't understand all the complaining about him.

 

It was Minkah who was coming up to make the tackle but he actually slipped as Robinson made his cut so if Wilson misses that tackle, there is a chance that Minkah is out of position. Not that it matters, Wilson made a solid play.

 

My favorite part about the play was how easily he slipped the WR's block and then let him know "you can't block me, homie". Nicely done. Looked fast and decisive out there. Even got upset with himself on a play he made because he made it one step too late. Kid gets it. I think there's a lot of good reason for the optimism that this kid turns into a nice player.

 

it was minkah. based on the angle he probably gets him down before the end zone but bijan had some room to work with

 

I Appreciate all the Wilsons on our team.

 

wellll - Minkah was right there, don't think it was going to be a TD, but was a GREAT play!!!!
